Children's wooden piece jigsaw puzzle in tray
The benefits of doing jigsaw puzzles:
Jigsaw puzzles help you exercise both parts of your brain.
Your left-brain thinks logically and follows sequence while your right brain is creative, intuitive and emotional. When you try to put together a jigsaw puzzle, you harness both the brainpowers.
Research is now showing the quantifiable benefits of doing jigsaw puzzles from childhood into adulthood. Studies have shown that keeping the mind active with jigsaw puzzles can actually lead to a longer life expectancy, a better quality of life, and reduce our chances of developing certain types of mental illness, including memory loss, dementia, and even Alzheimer’s Disease (by an amazing third).
Puzzles provide good practice in manual skills, visual perception, and also the cognitive skills responsible for the organisation and strategy of the piecing together process. Puzzles teach patience and perseverance, and the reward is the satisfaction of the complete image.
